Yesterday Radley and I became my niece's godparents.
The term godparent means different things for different people, but to me it simply means being there. Serving as a mentor. Listening and guiding, in turn, as each becomes necessary. It means bearing witness to her life, investing in her spirit. Of course, as her aunt, I would have done all of this anyways--but being her godmother, well, that just adds something special. Something really, wonderfully special.
And, okay, I'd be lying if I said the idea of a "fairy" godmother hadn't also crossed my mind. Because no, I probably won't be waving a wand around to make miracles happen. (I wish.) But even so, I can do my best to bring magic--or something quite like it--into this beautiful little girl's life.
